THE SHOW

book, music and lyrics by Rupert Holmesadapted from the novel by Charles Dickensproduced in cooperation with Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc.

It’s 1892 and The Music Hall Royale is premiering its newest show, The Mystery of Edwin Drood — a musical adaptation of the last story ever written by Charles Dickens. Edwin Drood has disappeared on a snowy Christmas Eve. Was he murdered? If so, who is the murderer? The answer was never revealed in the book as Dickens died before finishing the story, leaving no clues as to its outcome. That is, until tonight, as the players turn to the audience to vote from a litany of suspects, all of who have their motives for Drood’s disappearance! You can see the audience choices for each performance below.
